d.
Adjust. To maintain or regulate, within prescribed limits, by bringing into proper position, or by setting
the operating characteristics to specified parameters.
e.
Align. To adjust specified variable elements of an item to bring about optimum or desired performance.
f.
Calibrate. To determine and cause corrections to be made or to be adjusted on instruments of test,
measuring and diagnostic equipment used in precision measurement. Consists of comparisons of two
instruments, one of which is a certified standard of known accuracy, to detect and adjust any
discrepancy in the accuracy of the instrument being compared.
g.
Remove/Install. To remove and install the same item when required to perform service or other
maintenance functions. Install may be the act of emplacing, seating or fixing into position a spare,
repair part or module (component or assembly) in a manner to allow the proper functioning of
equipment or a system.
h.
Replace. To remove an unserviceable item and install a serviceable counterpart in its place.
"Replace" is authorized by the MAC and the assigned maintenance level is shown as the third position
code of the Source, Maintenance and Recoverability (SMR) code.
i.
Repair. The application of maintenance services, including fault location/troubleshooting,
removal/installation, disassembly/assembly procedures and maintenance actions to identify troubles
and restore serviceability to an item by correcting specific damage, faults, malfunction or failure in a
part, subassembly, module (component or assembly), end item or system.
NOTE
The following definitions are applicable to the "repair" maintenance function:
(1) Services. Inspect, test, service, adjust, align, calibrate and/or replace.
(2) Fault location/troubleshooting. The process of investigating and detecting the cause of equipment
malfunctioning; the act of isolating a fault within a system or Unit Under Test (UUT).
(3) Disassembly/assembly. The step-by-step breakdown (taking apart) of a spare/functional group
coded item to the level of its least component, that is assigned an SMR code for the level of
maintenance under consideration (i.e., identified as maintenance significant).
(4) Actions. Welding, grinding, riveting, straightening, facing, machining and/or resurfacing.
j.
Overhaul. The maintenance effort (service/action) prescribed to restore an item to a completely
serviceable/operational condition as required by maintenance standards in appropriate technical
publications. Overhaul is normally the highest degree of maintenance performed by the Army.
Overhaul does not normally return an item to like new condition.
k.
Rebuild. Consists of those services/actions necessary for the restoration of unserviceable equipment
to a like new condition in accordance with original manufacturing standards. Rebuild is the highest
degree of materiel maintenance applied to Army equipment. The rebuild operation includes the act of
returning to zero those age measurements (e.g., hours/miles) considered in classifying Army
equipment/components.
